Great Utility Bar
This is a great all around bar. Good spin, nice bearings and the perfect amount of knurling.

Love this product!
I am really glad that I bought my barbell from you. It's a really good looking and the performance is superb. I am probably going to buy more products from you in the near future, I just need to save more money. Also the price was really good for this high-quality barbell. Other manufacturers charge more for less. Glad that I chose Bells of Steel.
